Potters Charm (G)
FAV
Won his first 5 starts over hurdles last season, including a Grade 1 novice at Aintree (17f). Even better form this term, fourth in Long Walk at Ascot before resuming winning ways in class 2 at Windsor. Sets a clear standard.

Botox Has (G)
[P]
Winner of this race 4 years ago. Good third in Grade 2 Cleeve Hurdle at Cheltenham last winter but hasn't replicated that form since, soon beaten in Windsor handicap 5 weeks ago.

Brewin'upastorm (G)
[PT]
Smart and likeable veteran who captured this prize back in 2021 and 2023. However, not at best in 3 starts this season after 20 months off and hard to see him returning to his previous levels given his age. Headgear back on.

Phantomofthepoints (G)
[PT]
Useful hurdler who produced a career best to win handicap at Warwick (21f) 2 weeks ago, relishing the emphasis on stamina at the trip. A reproduction of that form makes him a threat.

Nurse Susan (M)
Back-to-back winner during 2023/24 campaign and firmly back in the groove this season, supplementing her Cheltenham handicap success in 6-runner listed event at Sandown (19.8f) last month. Looks ready for another shot at this level.
